Calves ate nitrile gloves

This is for the vets on here, other opinions also welcome.

Today my three 425lb heifers broke into the milking parlor, made a big mess and ate some nitrile milking gloves out of the garbage.
Will they just go through them and come out in the manure?

Yes, I would think so.

They may even wave on their way out.

I look forward to sky blue poop.

I look forward to sky blue poop.

I'm partial to bright green. And it's festive! Good luck with your calf. From my experience, random articles usually go through with no problems.

It's been 4 days and no sign of the milking gloves. But it rained last night quite a bit and washed the pies. Check the blue specks and fragments.



Last few days I saw them chewing ruminating rapidly in a bouncy fashion. I guess it was like chewing gum for the heifers.

I had one eat a bright yellow plastic shopping bag that I was using to mark where I had already seeded. I tied it to the top of a fence post, walked across the pasture to my truck, and turned around just in time to see her swallow it. Three days later I saw it again in a pile.

Cattle have one way mouths. Their tongue and the inside of their mouths are covered with little backward pointing hooks. Although I pick up and get rid of every piece of baling twine, I looked over and saw my old pet cow with 1' of baling twine sticking out of her mouth. I ran over and tried to grab it. She turned away avoiding me as she swallowed more. I dove on her and grabbed it, pulled out about 8' or 10'.
